Description
Mohamed Megahed and co-authors are the subject of a 2024 retraction note in Scientific Reports. The note withdraws their study of polyaniline coatings for guarding ancient steel spearheads at a Cairo military museum. Editors acted after worries rose over three figures in the paper.
Two panels said to show distinct samples appear to overlap in part. One image carries one scale and working distance in its first use and a second pair of values later. Reference accuracy drew doubts as well. The editors lost trust in the results, while the authors state they disagree.
